Thank you man. Definitely clarified some details that'll put me over the top. I appreciate what you do bro!!!

[@yeelee9132]

Honstly, once you hit 755 the credit game is pretty much over. A credit score of 755 is pretty much as the same as a 850 credit score. Some times a 755 score can approve you for things that an 800 credit won't. I haven't run into a person that has 800 plus scores that can get things that I can't with my 760 credit score. I used to think that the higher my credit scores is the better I'll be but it's never the case. The truth is there's nothing a 800 plus scores can get that a 750 credit score can't get! 750 Will hold the same APR As a 800 plus card holder has. Here are the tiers magic numbers 621 to 680 is fair game. 680 to 720 is good game. 720 to 750 is very good game. 751 to 850 is excellent game. When you're 620 you will get approve for anything that a 680 will be approve for, Same goes for the rest of scoring numbers . so don't loose sleep over trying to get to 850 because once you turn right you'll eventually see a sign that says DEAD END AHEAD.

Im so excited because as of today my credit score is 740. Ive been rebuilding my credit since Jan 2018. Im estimating that I will be at 750 by Oct. 2022 when 2 of my hard inquiries fall off and my average age of accts. has grown some more. Im pretty satisfied with my total available credit that I now have for a couple years so I will be credit gardening.

Law of diminishing returns. The difference between 680 and 720 is significant. But between 760 and 800, not so much. Once you’re at 760, that’s usually good enough (unless you plan on starting a business, or some other situation where your credit and debt service coverage is looked at in much more detail.)

[@chachingfm]

Just subscribe thanks for the advice

[@MichaelCMeyer]

A common mistake is the most Americans are taught that fewer credit cards are better than more credit cards. Better to product change to a free card if you have AMEX instead of canceling AMEX to migrate to Visa/MasterCard. Keep long credit history instead of having to recover over years. Chase will have hard pull if you want to increase limit to decrease utilization for better higher credit score. Chase suggests increasing your income and reporting income improvement to them for soft pull on credit increase.

[@MacAutomationTips]

I just got bumped to 759. Ironically my score dropped like ten points after I paid off my car loan. But it's going back up. I used to want my score to be like 820 but I'm at the point where it doesn't matter much. I'm not looking to buy another house and hopefully I'll keep my car for like ten years. I have three card that I mainly use rewards cash back. I may get one more next year, but that's it. Great video btw. I recently subscribed to your channel.

Hard to raise your average age when you're applying for cards 2x+ a year

[@slimjim77M]

You have to balance average age with total number of accounts. If your goal is to be above 800, and you want to be efficient long term, you'll want to acquire as much credit as the banks will allow in the shortest time.

[@richyridiculoustv]

The secret to skipping that issue is to become an Authorized User on someone else's credit card. By doing this you gain the entire payment history from their card which saves you years of waiting. You can also purchase your way on to someone's good credit history by finding a reputable tradeline company if you dont already know someone with a long credit history. There ya go.

question from a European : - when you say pay of, do you mean pay the full balance every month ? (So like a debit card, actually. You just borrow the money for 30 days or so). Because if yes, why would you apply for more and more card ? If you need money just do a regular loan at the bank, it should be cheaper (and fix payment, so will help improving your score)

[@Sisko03]

Some of the cards he has reviewed his wife applied for. Plus, once you had one card from an issuer you can kinda figure out how other cards may work from the same issuer just by reading the terms and fine print. Don't cancel your cards. You will lower your available credit and could mess up your utilization if you owe money on one of your other cards. Instead, pay them off and toss them a drawer if you don't want to use them. Just put small charges on it every so often.

I got my first credit card on july, so from july to now I have a score of 748 at the age of 18. Idk what I did, all I did was just payed it off 2 days before my due payment and dont use it for a bit

[@landonbarretto4933]

I use two cards - an Amex Platinum that currently has a $90 thousand limit, I put at least $18 thousand a month on it and pay if off in full. The other card I use sporadically but also pay off in full. I have no mortgages, no car loans and my credit score gets penalized because of that. Credit score is high 700s and it should be well above 800 based on my payment history. It's nonsensical. The credit bureaus want people using debt when it's not necessary.

[@TheCreditShifu]

If you have a lot of grocery and dining spend, i would recommend an amex gold to compliment your platinum. Platinum gets you 5x points in flights, but gold gets you 4x on grocery and dining, points all pool in the same account.

So if I just got approved for a new card that is not chase in less than 2 weeks ago I wont be able to apply for chase sapphire preferred? I have total of 4 credit cards, and 2 store credit cards. One of them is already chase. Is it recommended to have more then 1 chase card per person?

[@Marco-em2in]

t_ n_rasberry Since you have 6 cards you will not be able to apply for another Chase card because of Chase 5/24 rule. You can have many chase cards if you want to maximize your points but you don’t have to only do it if you travel allot and want to combine points between Chase cards.

What about student loans? Will that count towards your credit score?

[@andydelvalle68]

Daniel Pham yes and it will help a lot just as long as you pay them on time

[@HKSxHAVOCxANGEL]

It will but only downfall is that like most credit sites IE credit karma don’t give you a calculator to estimate how paying down loans will effect your score like paying down/increasing CC limits. But as long as you pay then on time and don’t default they’ll help you absolutely

[@sam9242]

Sometimes the score is wacko. I dropped 50 points from two different bureaus one month, then right back up (800++) the next month. When it dropped, I ordered all my credit reports. Essentially, nothing changed before or after. I guess they just wanted to keep me on my toes.

[@notosure2148]

Same thing happens to me when I make a payment right after my balance is reported to the credit agencies. So sometimes it would inflate the usage stat. I've learned that they update card usage around the 3rd or 4th every month. So I've been keeping it low that week, and I haven't had a big fluctuation since.

@@aeromedical6750 You missed the point. I certainly don't base my life on credit. I've had no debt of any kind for 30 years, and everything I buy goes on a card... for 28 days, then paid in full.

[@andydelvalle68]

SwingTradeSolutions loans are not the same as credit when it comes to authorized users. Loans only have “co-signers, and the “co-signer” is someone who has a great credit score who will assume responsibility for your loan if you cannot pay it off.

[@notosure2148]

Good old piggy backing, what you might be able to do is call the bank, have it transferred to your name, with him as originator and cosigner. Banks are usually good with this, as that's two people to pay it back. And if it's in your name, you can pay it and it'll count for your credit as well as his.
